Actually King of Saudi Arabia has nothing to do with Fatwa thing,he is not a religious figure among muslims and only respected as they are taking care of the most holistic Islamic sites in Saudi Arabia. Recently in the Hajj(pilgrimage) sermon this year and even the previous Hajj sermon the Imam has condemnd any kind of suicide attacks and condemnd Terrorism.

To be honest and fair, if we look at these terrorist attacks, I would ask public to look at the figures of terrorist attacks victims countrywise. And one would learn that, the most affected country of terrorism is Pakistan the second largest muslim nation and why is that ?

If one thinks that it is muslims duty to kill non-muslims then why they are killing their own people even in the mosques? why dont they attack christians, hindu or other minorities in Pakistan?

Those who carried out these attacks are not muslims at all, they are mercenaries, they have no religion/belief but money. In the recent Pakistan military operations in Swat valley in NWFP the military has confirmed that these taliban are not local people and one of the evidence is that, these people were not circumcised according to muslims traditions.

So we need to see all these events in a more broader spectrum than in one vision and blaming a peaceful religion.

In any event the issue is that it is not "people with greviances" that do this sort of thing, but just muslims. There are real innocent victims(though fortunately not in this case), a real huge cost in added security and loss of liberties and privacy(why should the secret service look up everybody's emails) and so the question of whether muslim immigration is desirable poses itself.

The whole irony of this refugee turned terrorist is that he himself fled an Islamic state with a high degree of autonomy and restrictions. Despite growing up perfectly normal and even to be considered "Swedish" by citizenship, there is certainly something wrong with this incident. Islam doesn't cause people to become instinctively violent, even if someone of the faith incites it. This man, Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, has obviously undergone a transformation, enough to bomb the "homeland" that gave him shelter from Saddam Hussein's reign in Iraq. Terrorism isn't a new thing in Europe, 7/7/06 in London has already proven that. So where does the path veer off?
The article said that he was educated in a British University. As mentioned above, Britain has had its fair share of terrorist activities. Is it far to say that there is considerable underground radical Islamic movements in Britain? Probably not, but it is becoming quite common for a few British educated men to be associated with Islamic extremists. What is unclear, is why he was asked to bomb Swedish shoppers. Sweden doesn't have an active involvement in Iraq or Afghanistan. Nonetheless, a target is a target and a completed task is a statement.
Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly's decision to follow orders from al-Qaeda leaders is entirely his own and nobody else's. Whether if he believes in fulfilling what Islam asked of him or to simply restore or avenge honor for a grievance against the faith, there is nobody else to blame but himself. And when he took his life, but not those of others, you could only pray that although his efforts were in vain, it would not have been the right thing if he had succeeded.

First of all I would appreciate the tolerance of Swedish society, I live in Sweden for last 4 years, I found them very human loving nature and helping.

All that what is happening today be it Sweden, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe or the whole globe. This like suicide attacks, planned attacks, wars, all these events are part of a hidden global agenda. In the world whenever changes happen, before that change events like these takes place and govts. earn people sympathy and support by terrorizing them be it a suicide bomber or a great consipiracy after than they imposed new laws which creates further problem for general public one little example is Xray scans at the airports, survelence cameras on the streets etc.

After defeating socializm, the religion is being used as to make people terrorize. It is the media who controling minds and feeding the propoganda. Always remember one thing, the british colonizer use to say one thing "Divide and Rule" this is what happening now and the real victims are the general public be it Muslims, Christians or Jews or whatever.

Swedish people are living for long time side by side with Muslims having personal experience and they know who the muslims are and what are their values . .. so that help them condemning these terrorist attacks without blaming muslims.

Does terrorism result from globalization? Is the conflict between cultures causing violent reactions from groups who feel oppressed or threatened by the spreading of foreign culture? This makes sense on one hand because traditional values are easily given up for attractive modern trends; however, suicide bombings are not going to stop the tide of commercialism. How an extremist sect could convince young women and men that giving up their lives will advance Islam is beyond me. Perhaps the extremists in question (the 27% who grew up in the West) faced ostracism because of their religious beliefs and thus turned to extremism? In that case it would be quite the vicious cycle, but Sweden does not seem to be a particularly intolerant place.

Perhaps suicide bombings are a display of power? Perhaps recruiters and bombers alike are brainwashed and convinced that they right some mysterious wrong by killing innocents? (What wrong has the West committed? Was it the interference from European Imperialism? If so other colonies have not reacted this way. Is it the interference in Middle Eastern wars? This seems somewhat plausible, but it seems like the wars would be more of an excuse to act, rather than the root reason.) Perhaps all who participate in religious extremism are mentally unbalanced? Perhaps it’s a mindless trend, as school shootings seem to be.

There must be a way to combat terrorism but as the causes seem irrational (at least to the layman), it seems the best methods to do so are constant vigilance and exercising tolerance.

Actually the British society is more or less segregated and this segregation reflects clearly on the campuses of the British Universities. So when foreign students come to study in these universities they simply don't fit in and feel completely isolated and this is when the anti-social elements take their advantage.No doubt, the radicals are ultimately responsible for these crimes, but the so called great British Univeristies are the primary culprits. If these universities cannot treat international students well then they have no right to recruit them in first place. Please put this dirty business of treating international students as cash cows to an immediate end.

But I must say that I surprised over the dignity and calm Swedes have shown over the events, and also the way that many Swedish Muslim representatives, both intellectuals and Imams, immediately condemned the attacks, while still arguing convincingly against a blanket blame on Muslims.

One can not help but wonder if the reactions would have been different had more people died.
